??? I *have* positioned `\set associatedVoice' at the proper place in
my example (this is, one syllable earlier), and the effect shouldn't
start with the first Italian syllable but the second (i.e, `zar').

This is not what you can find in bilingual vocal scores. Actually,
it's completely wrong since you have a *single* note while a melisma
indicates more than a single note. I've simplified the example;
attached you can find how it should look like, and how you can find it
in a vocal score of `Don Giovanni', second scene. If associatedVoice
works as advertised, it's *exactly* the right thing to use IMHO.

I'm already using a workaround because associatedVoice doesn't work as
expected.
